Hürlimann H-358.4 Club or ZETOR 7520/7540?
Which should you choose?
On performance, every comparable figure that differs favours the ZETOR 7520/7540: hydraulic flow. On features, the Hürlimann H-358.4 Club is ahead on forward gears and PTO speeds.
- The Hürlimann H-358.4 Club suits PTO-driven implements (mowers, balers, pumps) better on this data: offers 750 rpm.
- The ZETOR 7520/7540 suits loader and hydraulic implement work better on this data: 100% (27.5 L/min / 7.3 gpm) more hydraulic flow.
Generated by rule set compare@4 from the figures on the side-by-side table, allowed by route “the same stated configuration”. Measured figures are compared only with measured, claimed only with claimed, at the same test condition; differences within each figure’s tolerance are not called.

What does this mean in plain words?
- The ZETOR 7520/7540 has 100% more hydraulic flow (27.5 L/min / 7.3 gpm) than the Hürlimann H-358.4 Club (both pump flow, as stated by the source).
- The ZETOR 7520/7540 is 18% heavier (520 kg / 1,146 lb) than the Hürlimann H-358.4 Club (both unladen weight, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-358.4 Club has 67% more forward gears (12 gears) than the ZETOR 7520/7540 (both forward gears, as stated by the source).
- The Hürlimann H-358.4 Club offers 750 rpm at the PTO, which the ZETOR 7520/7540 does not (as stated by the sources).
- Even on power at the PTO shaft (both power at the PTO, claimed): the difference is under the 10% threshold for claimed figures, too small to call.
- Even on top speed (both top speed forward, as stated by the source): the figures vary by configuration and the ranges overlap.
- Even on drive: every machine is available with four-wheel drive.
- Same era: production began within 5 years of each other. We hold no parts-availability data, so there is no call on parts.
- Not comparable on three-point lift: the H-358.4 Club: lift through the full range at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Hürlimann H 358.4 Club”); the 7520/7540: lift at the hitch ends, as stated by the source (Traktorenlexikon, “Zetor 7520/7540”) — not the same quantity, basis and condition.
- No figure on record for every machine, so no call on: fuel efficiency at the shaft, drawbar power, maximum permissible mass, a creeper range and PTO independence.
